What happens when you challenge a group of housebound elementary school students to recreate famous works of art?

In the case of Scott Lake Elementary, you get these funny and fascinating masterpieces.

“Napoleon Crossing the Alps” becomes “Connor Crossing the Back Yard on a Stuffed Unicorn.”

“Portrait of a Man in a Red Turban” is remade as “Andrew Wearing a Rather Nice Bath Towel.”

“American Gothic” gets a Shovel Edition update — because who owns a pitchfork anymore?

“In the classroom, I have very high standards for my students, and they have been meeting the mark and surpassing it during distance learning,” says Kristi Robinson, a visual arts teacher at Scott Lake Elementary. “Being able to break out of the classroom setting box has truly been the silver lining. Seeing them put themselves inside the artwork and enjoying art in a new way has been exciting and rewarding.”
